The theme of the global crusade is:”Supernatural Freedom ThroughChrist”.
He prayed to God to give Nigerians the best that would lead the country out of the current challenges, and move the country forward for it greatness.
Speaking on his retirement, the man of God said that his driving force was that when a man was called by God, God would continue to supply that person his needed strength until God says the person’s time was over.

He said that God wouldgive all those who were in charge technically and politically the wisdom to prevent something bad happening like this next time.
“What has happened as happened already. The Federal Government and all well-meaning people should see how to help all those that have been devastated with the flood.
“The Lord will console everyone that has lost their loved ones, and move us forward, and provide for everyone,” Kumuyi stated.
He further revealed that the Lord led him to choose Bori at this time for the global crusade, adding that, the crusade was to pray for all Nigerians and the rest of the world.
The man of God also called on the youths in the society to do something meaningful that would get them out of poverty to enable them contribute to the success of the society.
